He's aggressive. Which is what we need. I think at a place like Arkansas where you're not gonna get as much talent as some of the other schools you need to overload on defensive line recruits personally. You have to have a defense that gets in the backfield regularly.

I had been hoping we would have hired Odom when he first went to Mizzou. He's a great defensive coach. Did great things at Memphis and Missouri both. Happy to have him on board.

Mizzou hired Harry Potter and gave us the best DC available.

Stud DC locked down. Now time for a stud OC and I will feel fantastic about this Pittman hire.

That is one way of looking at it. None of the 3 should have ever been a head coach in the SEC to begin with.

Honestly this is a very good hire for Arkansas. Barry may pry away a recruit or two from the current class, although he will never be a great recruiter. However, he is a very good defensive mind and really got burned by poor hiring on the offensive side of the football and poor in-game management and discipline at times. I suspect that will be a lot better now that he has less he has to oversee, at least on his side of the ball. In my opinion, this is Arky's best hire of this go-round, with Brad Davis being the absolute worst. Our O-Line got way worse under him with the final year being probably the weakest unit on our team. I will hate being forced to root against Barry though, he is a great dude and it sucks that it went down how it did for him. I hope Arky's D shows lots of improvement under Odom outside of 1 game each year.


Totally agree. I think Odom is going to be a great DC for Arky....he's going to be extremely motivated.

Barry Odom is the new Arkansas DC Arkansas fans, 2 things: 1 - Congrats on the Odom hire, we are all impressed.


2 - If he turns your 110th ranked defense around, you bet your arse he is going to leave to go be a head coach somewhere. November 28th should be interesting in Columbia.


This I agree with. If Odom gets Arky's defense ranked in the top 10 nationally he'll be a candidate for a P5 HC gig.

Treat him well, Arky. No one around here disliked him, he is an alum for heaven's sake. But the program needed new life.

He's a good guy. The players will like him and he is dedicated to his players.

RRRRRRRR-kansass...where if you can't beat 'em, hire 'em and hope, and pray, and wish, and brag and kiss your cousin.

If Mizzou starts our WR Jalen Knox at QB against them next year, we should be A-OK!

When Tittman washes-out, Odom is a great HC. You're welcome.

Hope he works for you, maybe he will help y’all win an SEC game this year!?!

It says something that he is fired and we are likely keeping his DC.why would we so that? Because Odom can’t get along with people. Enjoy.

No worries, we got the SEC's #1 rated recruiting as the HC.. he'll probably make Barry better, too.

Same thing right here. Guess who can rehab Davis' O-Line abilities? THE former #1 rated O-Line coach!!

These hires play to our strengths and mask the new guys weaknesses...
